Newport Academy…in his own words

“I’ve been in the shoes of our clients, and I know how difficult it can be not only to struggle, but also to identify and execute a plan for overcoming that struggle. At Newport Academy, I get to help families first see that a solution exists, then identify what that solution is, and finally execute a plan to move toward that solution. Simply put, Newport Academy is the program I wish I had when I was a teenager. We approach each client and family as unique, and develop the best possible plan for them, utilizing a wide range of modalities and interventions. Everyone’s experiences and interpretations of life are individual to them; therefore, treatment must cater to specific needs and personalities as well.” — Blake Kinsey
